What do you believe is KOEI's best branch?

My vote goes to Kessen I feel that Koei should focus more on this series. I'm glad Bladestorm is very much like it and I'm anticipating that game very much. In fact I might actually buy a PS3 for that game and DW6 alone. I vote for Kessen because it has the most beautiful cutscenes, great strategy elements, better character development, and better story. The story in Kessen is way more in depth than the DW and SW series. I was so impressed with how much that story made me laugh and want to keep playing more and more. DW and SW series are equally as fun but their story was always lacking to me and the the story lines were almost the same thing every time. Kessen makes it some what fictional which I think is good because there is something different thrown out at us. Kessen III also had amazing voice actors Mitshuhide Akechi in particular was outstanding. I also feel that Nobunaga's voice was the best out of every game. If you haven't played a Kessen game yet I would strongly recommend you play Kessen III. Thank you Koei for making Kessen. :)
Those who do not value the greatness of the Kessen series shall be struck down with the blade of virtue!

The Bladestorm demo was released, and some people already have tried the demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace, but we still can't really judge the game overrall, and we can't keep editing the poll because it wouldn't be fair for the people who already voted. I think there should be an updated thread of this when one or two games are released.

IMO, DW was the climbing point of Koei; what brought them up.

Its what introduced me to Koei also. Dynasty Warriors 2 was the first game i owned for the PS2. Thats also when i started liking Lu Bu. In that game, Lu Bu's C4 would knock you a mile back! :lol:

Totally DW. I love SW, but nothing is better than the original. Warriors Orochi kicks but too, but it had the potential to be alot better, and it probably would have been if there was more disc space. That is why I am up for a WO2 for the PS3.

Dynasty warriors without a doubt it was the first koei game i got. Although samurai warriors good it just wasnt as good as dw and warriors orochi was good too but i just feel that it could have been much better. I havent played any of the other ones so i dont know what they are like

I personally think Samurai Warriors, as the missions give more of a sense of purpose to each battle, and the characters are much more unique.

I'm one of the five people who voted for Kessen...

Obviously only 5 people here have played this series.

I liked the depth of the storyline and the attachment I felt when I played Kessen III. It has the best storyline of any Koei game I've ever played. All in all, the game play is just as simple as DW (With a bit more strategy, but not much), but it's the story that really got me. I like how it broke away from the predictable historical truth. And the customizable elements such as armor, troops, items, weapons, etc. were very extensive. The musical score is quite lovely as well. Just a simply wonderful game series.

Hurray another score for Kessen...! I'm sure most of us here haven't played Kessen III yet otherwise the result would be different! I know DW and SW are great but Kessen III just made those games look bad! Kessen III rules! Everyone should give it a try!

I agree completely, pretty much all the Kessen votes are due to Kessen III. Which in my opinion is by far the best of the series.

If this poll was to extend to rating the best single game from Koei I think it would rate very well, DW is no doubt boosted due to having so many games, although Quantity =/= Quality.

That is true. I've never played the other Kessen games... but hey, the question is "What's the best GAME," not "series." ;) It's not specific.

Should give it a try mum, Kessen III is great. Btw how DW3 better than DW4 & 5? I havent played DW3 so for me DW5 is the best DW. The only thing I think DW4 is better than 5 is the enemy AI and the versus mode.

DW3 and XL and SW1 and XL are the four games which KOEI can never seem to surpass. they have a sense of noir that i still find appealing, i do not like all the bright battlefields from DW5 and SW2.(i will say SW2:XL looks much better). the storytelling in both is superior to me, with the longer Musou(in both) and branching story paths in SW1. the characters in all these games(especially the less popular characters) are far more engaging and well portrayed. and of course, they have the Japanese VA option , which i SORELY miss, as KOEI have hired the worst VA actors ever to grace games in the succeeding versions. SW2 being the worst Va known to man.
i also really enjoy the Kessen series.

Care to elaborate more on your choice?

Also, why I didn't earlier I'm still not sure. But I changed the topic title to branch, that way it can cover one or multiple games. I had game/series in the post attached, but the topic title would have been too long with it.
